Abstract
⺠The sporophyte of fern Pteris vittata is an arsenic hyperaccumulator. ⺠This paper demonstrates the response of gametophyte (a free living, autotrophic haploid stage in fern) to arsenic. ⺠The study shows that gametophyte are As-hyperaccumulator and have a well developed antioxidant system. ⺠This adaptation of P. vittata gametophyte to arsenic, make it an ideal system to study As-hyperaccumulation mechanism.
